Sir: We have read the article by Dr. Marchac et al. entitled “A Horizontal V-Y Advancement Lower Eyelid Flap” published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (2009;124:1133–1141). We congratulate the authors for this wonderful idea that helps many patients. Previously in this Journal, we published a communication entitled “The V-Y Advancement for Lower Eyelid Defect in Preventing Ectropion” (Plast Reconstr Surg. 2006:118:557–558), also for a basal cell carcinoma. Obviously, it is the same flap, also with nice results. Our concern is, why is it that if our contribution was published in the same Journal, there is no reference to it? In the background of their article, it is mentioned that “The authors were surprised to realize that the horizontal V-Y advancement flap of the lower eyelid is not even mentioned in the textbooks about eyelid repair, and they wanted to report their very positive experience with this subcutaneous pedicle flap.” However, this idea has been published by us before their article in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. When we are going to publish in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, our first investigation is in the references of this Journal.
